If you were reading my posts about Berkeley I told you about a bakery that was featured in a Sunset Magazine article. A bakery called La Farine. The inside is just as cool as the bread that comes out of it. As you know, I love design. So these beautiful sconces caught my eye as soon as I first walked in the door! Design and food a great combination!

A view down the sidewalk from Cole Coffee. There is a great little corner market with fresh produce. A flower stand with fresh flowers. Those are all over Berkeley. A bakery that was featured in Sunset Magazine....all of that coming up..... stay tuned.

When you think of Berkeley you probably think of University of California at Berkeley, or you may think hippies, or a town with a very hip organic side to it. Everytime we go we hit some of our favorite places to eat, shop, or just have fun. Nestled right at the border of Berkeley and Oakland on College Avenue is Cole Coffee. Just a plain cool hangout to watch the locals and visitors alike and great mochas to boot. From your sidewalk table you can look back down the street to see all kinds of great little shops not to miss when you are here. I'll be posting on those soon.

About Me

I'm a Texas girl that moved to Cali. 10 yrs. ago. Home is in a small northern California town with my husband and three lovely kids. The town I live in just built a quaint, new town square. On the weekends we usually start out there for a cup of joe and head out to a destination for the day. We love to visit other towns and big cities, shops, cafes and coffee shops . Why you ask? My husband has a love of food and a culinary degree. I love design and things that inspire me, and our three lovelies are along for the ride. Let me introduce you to them.....
